🚀 Michael Saylor Advocates for Bitcoin-Backed Digital Banking Systems

According to PANews, Michael Saylor, founder and executive chairman of Strategy, is advocating for the development of digital banking systems backed by Bitcoin. Speaking at the Bitcoin MENA event in Abu Dhabi, Saylor proposed that governments could create regulated digital bank accounts using over-collateralized Bitcoin reserves and tokenized credit instruments. These accounts would offer higher yields and lower volatility, potentially attracting trillions of dollars in deposits.

Saylor highlighted the low returns on bank deposits in Japan, Europe, and Switzerland, noting that euro money market funds yield around 150 basis points, while U.S. money market rates approach 400 basis points. This has led investors to turn to corporate bond markets. He outlined a structure where digital credit instruments would comprise about 80% of the fund, paired with 20% fiat currency, and include a 10% reserve buffer to reduce volatility. If offered through regulated banks, depositors could invest billions to achieve higher returns.

Saylor emphasized that such accounts would be supported by digital credit with a 5:1 over-collateralization held by a financial entity. He suggested that countries offering these accounts could attract capital inflows of "$20 trillion or $50 trillion."

🚀 Bernstein Analysts Raise Target Price for Figure Technology Solutions

According to BlockBeats, on January 13, analysts from research and brokerage firm Bernstein increased the target stock price for Figure Technology Solutions (FIGR) from $54 to $72, designating it as a 'top recommended stock' for 2026. The analysts highlighted the company's tokenized credit market growth exceeding expectations and ongoing improvements in operational leverage. The new target price suggests a potential 38% increase from the stock's closing price of $52.23 on Monday. Bernstein has consistently rated the stock as 'outperform' since initiating coverage last October.

In a client report released on Tuesday, January 14, led by analyst Gautam Chhugani, the team noted that blockchain-based lending institution Figure stands out amid banking industry transformations and the clearer regulatory framework proposed by the U.S. 'Clear Act,' a draft bill for crypto market structure. The report states that Figure replaces traditional banking ledger systems with blockchain infrastructure, offering long-term growth potential in its tokenized equity business.

Bernstein indicated that Figure's performance has surpassed its originally 'quite optimistic' expectations, driven by a partner-led market model and expansion into new loan categories. The total consumer loan market reached approximately $2.7 billion in the fourth quarter, with the tokenized credit platform Figure Connect processing about 46% of the credit volume from the previous quarter.

The report emphasized that Figure is actively expanding its core HELOC business by introducing new products such as debt coverage loans, small business loans, and crypto asset-backed loans. The company also plans to tokenize its equity to launch a tokenized equity platform for secondary market development. Analysts view the equity business as a long-term 'strategic option' rather than a short-term revenue driver.
